Episode 39 of The Health Exchange Podcast takes listeners inside the world of pediatric nephrology with guest Dr. Cristina Farkas-Skiles, a specialist who cares for children with kidney conditions. She and Dr. Rutland discuss what families can expect during a first nephrology visit, how testing and treatment plans are explained in child-friendly ways, and why building trust with parents is just as important as caring for the patient. The episode covers complex topics like kidney biopsies, dialysis, and transplant risks while grounding them in practical advice about diet, blood pressure control, and long-term outlook. Dr. Farkas-Skiles also shares a moving story of resilience from one of her young patients, illustrating the hope and strength that families can find even in the face of chronic disease.
